105F in the Sierra Nevada foothills. I'm glad I put-up shading over the toms, zuk, and squash 😉
I am in zone 9 southwest FL and able to keep growing tomatoes, peppers & herbs in 90+ temps. Thinking about using shadecloth over the garden to keep on growing all summer. Thanks for all the tips & links Audrey!
I am in Sonoma, 85% is under shade. big difference. over 100, drip every day. Tomatoes in straw bales get watered twice.
❤Audrey is awesome!
Hi Audrey I’m in SoCal Zone 10b. I have a small backyard garden and still holding on to my Spring/Summer garden. New subscriber here.
Is there a big difference between Zone 9 and Zone 9b? I am in metro Phoenix, Arizona (Gilbert) and zoned 9b. I really enjoyed this video!
